Isn’t it terrifying to ponder the 'what ifs'?
“What if everything goes wrong? What if I’m not ready? What if I’m abandoned again? What if I fall out of love? What if I lose my freedom? What if we become codependent and lose our sense of identity? What if we actually don’t want the same things? What if I’m not good enough? What if I’m never good enough?”
You long for happiness, but all you can hear is the chatter in your mind and the external voices telling you that love just doesn’t work. “Because it hasn’t worked!” That’s it. Your past feels like enough of a reason why.
But if you don’t give happiness a chance, how will you ever truly be happy?
Will you choose the kind of love that feels like home or the one that merely covers your loneliness? Will you choose to open your heart to love again or run away? Will you choose to make decisions in your life out of love or out of fear?
Will you care to choose?
You see, everything is a choice, and much of it comes down to choosing between becoming an active storyteller or a passive consumer of our own lives. We can’t change what happened in the past, but the magical thing is, we can change how we tell these stories to ourselves and how we want to write the rest of our stories.
No one is born immune to heartbreak. Happy endings don’t exist only in fairy tales—they’re real, but they’re tested by time and only happen when we truly believe in them.
So what if you reframe your ‘what ifs’?
What if everything happens exactly as it should, pushing you to become a better partner and leading you to this very moment—when you choose to build faith in love again, regardless of what may come?
Or in other words, what if, from now on, you choose to have unwavering faith in yourself because you are love?
❤️
